Do you know where your Children are

"Do you know where your children are?" is a question used as a public service announcement for parents on American television especially from the late 1960s through the late 1980s. 

Growing up after the 10:00 news cast , the broadcaster was always ask this question, “ Do you know where your children are?”. When I had children, they were still asking that question .my husband or I would answer it.  Sometime the answer was , “They are asleep in their beds”. As the years have gone by, they don’t ask that question anymore after the news but it has always been on my mind. If it were storming, I would wonder if they were safe at home . If it was a holiday, I would wonder if they were putting Santa under the tree as their children slept, or filling Easter baskets with goodies from the Easter bunny. When they were on vacation , I would wonder if they were traveling safe on the highways.
Now , so many years have past since that question was asked at the end of the news, but from time to time as the broadcaster says goodnight , my husband or I would answer that question with “At home with their family’s “. Why does that simple question stand out in my mind all these years? As a mother of two daughters and three grandchildren , I have the answer. They are right where they need to be! They are both Christian women who love the Lord. They are strong and independent, loving, kind, and beautiful . They are mothers and wife’s who work to help support their family’s. But most of all, They are Gods children.
Do you know where your children are? We do!
